3:01 pm
four hours a day seven days a week this is our duty i'm to bang with say egypt's opposition has refused to attend talks called for by the president to try and stop the ongoing turmoil that's gripping the country meanwhile the government has pushed through a law giving the army the power all the rest our correspondent bill truth has the latest from cairo. the violence has escalated in the last hour in the capital with conscious continuing between anti-government protesters and security forces on the cornish just off the face square we have excessive amounts of takeouts and also reports of birdshot it said being used in addition protesters have been knocked sixth of october bridge which leads into korea in addition a march to the government to the parliament building the shura council was attacked
3:02 pm
we have to ask to sing multiple locations across the got to go with quite violent scenes i mean one of course i mean there has been funerals for those killed during the phase caches during a previous funeral yesterday the opposition rejected calls from the president for dialogue they say they will not meet with the president and ten he takes responsibility for the continued violence and bloodshed and instead they released five demands they said they want a national salvation government to take over they want the current cabinet to resign and so the new constitution to be revoked so at the moment it doesn't look like there's going to be much agreement between the president and the opposition forces in the coming weeks president mohamed morsi met with his national defense counsel and then now said they would. see status in three cities across the country of course i serious it is and they are the worst so far this has been seen by an admission given how many drugs and you'll notice saying that in the armed forces
3:03 pm
can arrest citizens this has been passed now by the sure council which is when clique which means that anywhere they are before they can arrest citizens this has been criticized by human rights activists with me that disease will now face and injury trials and i'm sure as the evening dresses on the violence and killings we expect to see a number of people arrested and growing violence between security forces and people who cross the country. dr saeed the dead political social just that the american university in cairo says there's little immediate prospect of stability in egypt. experience of their logging was a president what what was called the national dialogue has been a failure and so they don't want to give the president. any piece of a photo opportunity that they are all sitting and nothing happens there were many experiences in which opposition would say it was the government and the president
3:04 pm
and they agree on something and then after a while you'll find that there was no agreement and that is why the decided not to join also they feel that the president and the government the current government is in trouble and so they don't want to give it any lease of life or any support so that the government becomes strong again so the future this is a time to persia talk as far as we can tell that we are egypt is going to be unstable for some time before all parties the allies that the cost of keeping this conflict is going to be too damaging for everybody once you all were allies that nobody is going to be and will know if this conflict continues then you will have democracy but as long as everybody some people believe that we will be winning if we keep perjury and decision of the government and the government believes that if they keep pleasuring the opposition there would be a winning there would be no stability in the country. a great collaboration over
3:05 pm
the last four yes that's how u.s. president barack obama described his first term and office with hillary clinton he's now leaving the post office secretary of state both appeared in a joint televised interview as america's top diplomat prepares to step down my colleague and if so now it brings us a review of clinton's time in office responding to calls for decisive action in the region obama cited egypt as one of the examples of where his administration play a leading role in aiding regime change specifically he said that i think it had if it had not been for the leadership we showed you might have seen a different outcome there we do nobody a service when we leap before we look sounds fair enough but as we've just heard from bell true continuing on dress and mass protests are happening in egypt and the president has declared a state of emergency and nightly curfew so violence there reigns president obama who in fact of course like he upheld in this interview promoted change in the
3:06 pm
country and he used to enjoy quite high approval ratings across the muslim world but if we look at some numbers a recent poll has suggested that there's been a sharp drop in popularity in the region take a look at these numbers in terms of foreign policy international policy so to say thirty four percent back in two thousand and nine now at a mere fifteen percent in twenty twelve well another legacy of obama's first term in office was his handling of the revolt in libya again the president saying washington's foreign policy made a difference well it certainly made a difference but despite criticisms the administration hasn't been proactive enough in the region obama quite wittily it seems saying that moammar gadhafi probably would not agree with that assessment let's remember those violent pictures of him being brutally murdered after eight months of nato intervention let's take also this of temper. attack on the u.s.
3:07 pm
embassy in benghazi that was a top rebel stronghold it left four top american officials dead including the ambassador and raise questions that hillary is still in fact answering about about the handling of the situation post gadhafi gone bad obama says we're not going to be able to control every aspect of every transition and transformation sometimes they're going to go sideways so a little bit of taking credit for what he sees as pluses saying well we can't control everything when he's answering to criticism now both obama and clinton admit that the conflict in syria should be handled carefully perhaps because of what we saw in libya the aftermath i should say in libya while the president has it in clearly on whether or not intervention would help resolve the crisis there. and for more on the let's go to journalist and author. who joins me live from london afshin rattansi so egypt and libya success stories for american foreign
3:08 pm
policy this is according to president obama but if things he doesn't quite know how to handle syria could the war torn country become another so-called success story for the u.s. . syria's been a disaster in terms of foreign policy for the united states quite in june with everything that this catastrophic us your state has done all around the world from latin america through asia and of course africa where it's been an utter failure so certainly in syria i think even the u.s. administration realizes that all predictions are secret covert arming of rebels it's all been a big failure now we know foreign nationals are being targeted in libya with oil giants such as b.p. and shell packing their bags over security concerns that's german intelligence saying al qaeda is planning to kidnap german and british nationals they are in the door now closing for the western businesses into acting across africa with these
3:09 pm
andress well that's in a sense as being one other element of hillary clinton's legacy because as you say they're a continuous supporting more or less and defacto supporting of al qaeda linked people like those in syria as men and those in libya and those in algeria and those perhaps in mali defacto in mali despite the french now so we know that its policies are very endangered not only western lives around the world and within western countries but of course western businesses speaking about mali a large number of weapons seized from the libyan government after the fall of moammar gadhafi have reportedly found their way to mali egypt to gaza and the syrian rebels and what the way can this escalating instability ever be considered a success. i don't know what president obama was thinking perhaps president obama is a little frightened of hillary clinton we must remember that in two thousand and eight
3:10 pm
hillary clinton ran vertiginous campaign advertisement against president obama or the candidate then barack obama the m s n b c man chris matthews called racist so hillary clinton as we know is quite the person to go with there in washington and certainly obama seemed frightened of her right through the rain even a state department press secretary resigned and you know often that happens hillary clinton was running a crazy very odd state department if her own press secretary resigned of course over the treatment the torture of bradley manning and the wiki leaks investigations which of course are all about state department cables but with all these allegations of arms and anger at foreign intervention i mean is america ready for a drawn out conflict across the region. across africa the united states seems to have
3:11 pm
a policy and out of disarray china of course is making all the running in africa another great success of a clinton administration so we've had their failures their failures and that's in america and of course the biggest failure is presumably saudi arabia and qatar saudi arabia and bahrain one could one could say about hillary clinton has succeeded in destroying an attempt to destroy the pro-democracy movements in saudi arabia and bahrain in the joint interview obama highlighted to two main priorities america's national interests abroad added opportunities where you with intervention could make a difference not like the u.s. is planning to carry on with its promise for democracy for all doesn't it yes but i suppose they are insistent on these drones so as president obama sitting there beside hillary clinton was talking about i wonder what she was and how complex it was must remember this is a president who tomorrow or on wednesday will be looking at lists with faces on saying kill that one kill that one don't care whether it's a u.s.
3:12 pm
citizen this is unprecedented stuff and that's why hillary clinton will go down in history as being such a catastrophic secretary of state one that has harmed u.s. interests right around the world and if they assume that their intervention is policy is going to be handled by drones and on these crazy vehicles that are killing even american citizens let alone all those civilians then that will only increase anti american feeling around the world which is completely against what the united states should be trying to do what do you make of the actual interview between the two of them did you feel that they there was a quite a lot that they decided not to talk about that there were you know no we're not gonna go there we're just going to highlight the things that we obviously think we did good in especially since hillary clinton is stepping down i'm pretty sure this was not a very close relationship i think president obama has been proven many times to have taken we. the foreign policy will we remember of course over egypt at the time
3:13 pm
his vice president saying he supported mubarak so the white house was completely caught off guard and we're relying increasingly on secretary clinton and ambassador rice at the united nations who of course is also departed because she couldn't replace hillary clinton because you have all sorts of problems regarding the nomination of president obama did not get on with hillary clinton and i suppose president obama feels well she's going to go over the twenty sixteen bridge. be that as it may i think she seemed to wince actually when he said well she can take it easy for a bit as i would do what hillary clinton will be doing in the mean while we'll be watching closely if indeed she will be coming back or if this is it for her in terms of politics journalist and author absent we thank you thank you. dr prime minister dmitry medvedev says that russia may consider swapping some of its euro reserves will act in other currencies hedging its bets against the eurozone

3:20 pm
all allegations against her meanwhile the guy. woman stands resumed the action it took against the hospital was the right thing to do. these doctors managed to control the emergency unit in the first floor of the hospital and started to perform political angles when a hospital is turned into a base for political and sick work this is a real disaster we had an unbiased committee investigating the hospital condemn the acts of these doctors and the case against one of the members of the world family may see him as an indication that bahrain's government has bowed to the negative global reaction with the doctor scandal being far from the only torture r.q. zeeshan c.c.t.v. cameras have been installed at all prisons in a move to become more transparent according to the authorities but with protests in the gulf states still continuing and accusations of human rights violations intensifying the opposition is still wondering what happens in the places where the cameras cannot see. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain.

hardware you could end up seeing. you can't say anything of the moment is this driver making his way along the road and suddenly screaming out of the distance comes this fighter jet just fifty meters above the road this helicopter doing the same thing coming in very very low over a driver who was just changing lanes at the time he was apparently training for search and rescue missions himself and then later on in the city of new gil in the urals will see just mind their own business driving along and suddenly a tank comes across the road someone hasn't worked out how to use the brakes yet i think he was the tank was on his way on the way from the tank factory nearby over to a test range of the side of the road the drivers of that car a little bit shocked to see it emerge at that sort of pace there were some bits of investigations but in each of the cases the aviation authority here found that that was all with procedures low flying trainings quite important we also find for that
3:23 pm
for the helicopter training that is also very necessary and as the as the local aviation authority said all the investigators looking into it said people like seeing helicopters swooping about to know that there are forces is there so i suppose the argument as well and that as far as the tank goes the tank fracture himself said this is totally normal the tanks have to drive across there is actually a red light that is you can't just see it's just off screen showing drivers perhaps not very well they should have stopped and the tanks actually saying people should watch out their tanks about. pretrial hearings in the case of the alleged mastermind behind the nine eleven attacks and his accomplices such a begin at the u.s. detention center in guantanamo bay cuba late on monday the key issues to be discussed saw the so-called cia black sites secrecy all printed u.s. prisons where the men were allegedly held and press all senior counterterrorism

console edge human rights watch says despite the size having been closed those accountable for them yet to be punished one of the issues is because i'm sorry if there's if they want to be a black they really were they consider them to be being the crime which i agree with while the men were tortured there and they think that that's relevant to the case and i think they have a very strong argument that they were secret unicode detention they were people were tortured in violation of u.s. and international law so there was never any reason because i'm president obama is close to them but the reality is the real concern of the u.s. is that no senior official has ever been held accountable the only people who have been prosecuted for digging if you have been first of all very limited number of people hands or people and always loathed level people never the senior officials who created the regime of torture and ordered it and authorized it and implemented it so human rights watch of the own reappeared but just that there are sufficient grounds for a criminal investigation into the conduct of the senior officials all the way to
